My Favorite Scene

I read twenty-two pages and book is very exciting. When I first read the book, the book was very scary and exciting for me. My favorite scene is when they are going to lynching, not while they are lynching because their behaviors are very funny. They go to McDonald's and Chris ordered double hamburger,six-piece McNuggets and medium fries. When they are waiting for the lynching only Chris has a McDonald's bag. I think it seems funny because they are going to do a serious job but a McDonald's bag is distrupting this. When they start to wait people start to chat about lynching. We can understand he tomfools because he says "People stare at me as I dip my McNuggets into the barbecue sauce."(Page:9 Line:24)It is funny. He was trying to not tomfool because he was eating too fast we can understand from these words "The pieces keep sticking in my throat. I want to finish them as quicklas possible."(Page:9 Line:25) I think he is trying to be serious about this job. Then the police start to come with their sirens. When police come everyone start to stare at them. There are a lot of people. The crowd start to move forward to see lynching more. The door opens. Some people are holding pistols to the vampire. The vampire is a young woman. They think she is a vampire but I don't think she is a vampire. People start to scream foul names at her, calling her murderer or witch. They are saying very bad words to her. I think they do not need to say bad words like that because it is not young woman's fault to be a vampire. This is my favorite scene because it is the funniest and the scene that has the most action. Both of these features unite with each other and make an ultra good scene.


This is an example for lynching.

Summary about what happened so far in my book:
        
        In my book there is a boy named Cristopher. At the beginning Cristopher is giving information about his life with first person review. He is introducting his best friends. He is giving information about The Sad Festivals of Vampires. He is saying that the place that he is living is very dangerous because there are vampires everywhere in the city. He says that his mother is always warning him to come to home early because of the vampires. When giving information part finishes. New chapter starts and Cristopher's main story starts in an English lesson. He gives information about his crush Rebecca Schwartz. I saw an interesting fact about Cristopher. When his brother Paul comes he started to don't look at him. His friend start to say that his brother has come and he says Cristopher should talk with him. While his friend was saying these he was trying to make him to be quiet. When his brother come and stares at Cristopher, Cristopher didn't want to go but his brother did something and Cristopher came. They start to talk and when their conversation finishes. Cristopher goes to a place, while he was going he saw a vampire's lyching. He shocked and surprised when he saw this. These were the things that I had read. The story starts to become interesting and scary.

My name is Mustafa. I am reading the book named "Thirsty" for my Reading lesson.





Thirsty (1997) is a horror novel written by M. T. Anderson. It is set in modern Clayton, Massachusetts, in a parallel universe where vampires and other such creatures exist. The main character, Christopher, just wants a normal life; to date his crush Rebecca Schwartz, stay up late, and other teenager things. Unfortunately, Chris has much more to worry about than puberty — he also has to deal with his vampirism.


These are some trailers of my book:
